Phone Booth

This is one of the original yellow phone booths here in Germany. They actually got quite rare in the last years - due to vandalism (there is also a glass window missing on this one) many of these booths were replaced with an open type.
Also, the colour changed: the yellow ones were property of the Deutsche Post, they got replaced by grey-magenta ones by Deutsche Telekom.
(You can read more about it in the German Wikipedia entry "Telefonzelle")

I like all the different types of phone booths in Europe. You can hardly find phone booths here in the U.S. anymore since everyone has cell phones.

Someday, just like record albums, children will not even know what they were! Strange huh? Makes one feel old.....lol
